Rev. DR.. Holland, Of St Louis, in a
sermon recently delivered in that city,
forcibly alludes to the status Of modern
piety. We quote But times have
changed Civilization has cushioned us
with conveniences and made rs soft.
We are the children Of luxury, and
must have luxurious creed, church
that assigns Us no heavy tasks, style
of preaching that invites us To lounge in
our pews as in barber's chairs, where
sins are neatly trimmed like side
whiSkers and then sprayed with cologne
water ofamiable sentiment. SO religion
is used to sanctiiy dudism of spirit
more contemplate than any the sins i.
fears 10 look in the face and smite-a
boudoir piety without moral indigna-
tion, without courage, afraid Of suffer
ing, ready to faint at the first fouch Of a
real cross"

A tough nut by the name Of Lyons,
who being only 10 years Of age who has
doubtless not yet reached the acme OF
his usefulness, shot a rancher by the
name of Parker on Bradley's Flat, near
the line of Fall River county on the 18th
inst, the shot taking effect in Parkers
ear and hand, he at the time the shot
was fired being in the act of throwing
up his hands. AS in numerous preced-
ing cases, dog appears To have figured
as the chief cause of the trouble. The
youth has skipped the country, and the
people will doubtless regard his per
manent absence as sufficient balm for
the slight wounds inflicted.

Professor Carpenter advertises in the
Rapid papers that he will buy stream
tin in lots Of fifty pounds and upwards
The purchase of this mineral will be of
great benefit to the southern Hills, as it
will be a source of revenue that they
have not yet enjoyed, and by which
they save considerable money without
much extra work, as in placer mining
this stream tin is usually found in good
quantities. Mr.. Wright of this place is
endeavoring to make arrangements for
the purchase of this ore, and if success
full, it will be the cause of placing no
small amount of money in circulation
about here.-Hermosa Pilot.

Whatever may be said of the admin

juncture, no one can dispute the glaring
fact Of his official acts having been in
strict accord with the prevailing senti

to condemn, it is nevertheless fact,
that Dakota has known no governor

recently discovered ore, supposed to be
rich in silver, to the School of Mines at
Rapid for assay. The ore presents very
favorable indications of value to the eye

The lode is situated near Tenderfoot, is
quite massive, and the sample sent was
obtained from a tunnel driven into the

the surface.

We present in this issue the full text
of Governor Church's message disap-
proving Patton's division bill. His OBJ
jections seem to be well taken, and
especially do we commend his objection
based upon the ground ofrestricting the
vote upon the question of division to
the segregated part, which from any
standpoint from which it may be viewed,
must be pronounced by all fair minded
men, unjust, unreasonable and incon-
sistent, and that it is SO regarded in
Custer county, where the sting of its
outrageous application still fingers, it is
entirely unnecessary to here repeat.

A couple OF clocks now on exhibition
at Booth 4 Webster's grocery store in
this place, encased in polished Cascade
marble, attract considerable attention.
1t is not however the clocks which rivet
the attention of the observer, but the
attractive character of the marble,
which equals, if it does not excel, in
beauty of blended coors, and perfection
of polish, any that we have yet seen
from any section of the Hills. This
marble is said to abound in endless
quantities near Cascade creek in Fall
River county. The cases were wrought
by Mr.. Couzens, one Of the locators of
the marble claims, and glance at their
perfect design is sufficient TO convince
any one that Mr.. G. is an artist of no
mean order.

Another appalling railroad catastrophe
occurred on the l4th inst. on the Boston
and Providence railway near Boston,
resulting in the loss of more than thirty
lives and the wounding and seriously
mangling of nearly one hundred per-
sons. The accident was the result of a
train, consisting Of seven cars, breaking
through bridge, and falling to the road
beneath, a distance of thirty feet. Five
cars out of the seven broke through, the
other two passing safely over. The
cars breaking through are said to have
presented scene Of such absolute
demolition as to excite wonder that any
of the inmates should have escaped
alive, Prompt application of water
prevented repetition of the repeated
holocausts which have accompanied ac-
cidents of this character in the past,
which would have further added to the
already revolving and shocking details of
the dire disaster.

The action of the Congregational min
listers Of Chicago in refusing to send
resolutions OF coincidence To Mrs.
Beecher, called forth the following
Caustc criticism from the Bismarck
Tribune: "The sanctimonious asses in
Chicago who refused to send resolu-
ton Of coincidence TO the dying Henry
Ward Beecher and his family, will be
simperlng in the pulpits of the Garden
City next Sunday on the subject Of
Christian charity. These are specimens
of the mental dwaris and prejudiced
boobies who injure the church and rob
il of its dignity and generosity. All
their little brains combined would not
make a wart on the splendid mind TO
whom they refused TO extend the sympa-
thy due from one human being TO an
other. Sweet religion, draw your veil"
